Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225: Reminder

The Nine Heavens Tower updated their lists without a fixed pattern, and special lists such as the Nine Heavens Beauties List were even more irregular. Ever since the former Green Hillock Empress disappeared without a trace, the Nine Heavens Beauties List had only been updated three times in the past decade or so.

In those three updates, the positions from second to tenth had all changed to some extent, but the top spot had always been held by Le Niushang, never changing.

Although Su Chengyu did not know exactly how stunning one had to be to top the Beauties List, he could gather some clues from Lin An’s appearance.

Moreover, if Le Niushang remained at the top in the next update, her time at the top would have surpassed that of the former Green Hillock Empress.

And judging by Feng Jie Yu’s attitude towards Le Niushang, it seemed that the two were not truly friends.

Seeing Su Chengyu lost in thought, Lin An frowned, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing important."

Su Chengyu smiled and did not share Feng Jie Yu’s reminder with Lin An.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Lin An, but regardless of Le Niushang’s attitude, she was still Lin An’s mother. He did not want to make things difficult for him.

Just as Lin An was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly resounded inside the room.

"Lin An, it’s about time, you need to return."

The sudden voice startled Su Chengyu, and he looked at Lin An in confusion, "Xu Zijing?"

Lin An blinked helplessly, "Yes, I asked my senior brother to help so I could sneak out of the palace. But don’t worry, he promised he wouldn’t eavesdrop on our conversation."

Hearing this, Su Chengyu nodded, and then spoke telepathically to the outside, "Thank you Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon for your assistance."

"I helped Lin An, not you."

"Helping Lin An is the same as helping me."

Su Chengyu continued.

"Lin An, it’s time to go."

As if he hadn’t heard Su Chengyu’s words at all, Xu Zijing gently spoke.

Yet Lin An clearly did not want to leave and seemed to have a lot more to say to Su Chengyu.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu took the initiative to say, "Go back first, I should be in the Capital City for quite some time."

Only then did Lin An nod, took one last look at Su Chengyu, took a deep breath, and then tiptoed to lightly kiss Su Chengyu on the forehead.

Before Su Chengyu could react, Lin An had already quickly disappeared from his sight, leaving a dazed Su Chengyu to smile bitterly.

Once Lin An had completely left, and sensing the presence that had not yet left outside the room, Su Chengyu continued, "Isn’t the Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon leaving?"

"Did you really defeat the Ping Shan Demon on your own?"

"Saint Envoy Ye..."

"No need for niceties. If Ye Qingci had intervened, you wouldn’t have had a chance to strike, and she does not like others interfering in her battles."

Xu Zijing directly interrupted the polite words Su Chengyu had prepared, prompting Su Chengyu to take a deep breath and take a chance.

"Yes."

After receiving a confident answer, Xu Zijing fell silent for a while before finally speaking slowly, "The Demon Slayer Department will be seeking you out soon, take care."

As his last words fell, the presence surrounding the room finally dissipated completely, and the emissary from the Demon Slaying Bureau evidently left the place.

After Xu Zijing left, Su Chengyu checked inside and outside the house again to make sure that there were no other lingering presences before he completely relaxed and sat down on the nearby bed.

"Capital City, even larger than I had imagined."

Su Chengyu’s lips curved upward as he summoned the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, transferring most of the contents within the Cave Heaven into the True Dragon Armor and Dragon Slayer Sword’s Small Opening. Only then did his consciousness enter it.

"Master!"

"Teacher!"

When Bai Huang and Yu Yanshu inside the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map noticed Su Chengyu’s figure, they immediately came forward to speak.

Su Chengyu nodded and eyed the distant peak but did not rush. Instead, he began to review the cultivation progress of the two over these days.

As for Yu Yanshu, needless to say, never having neglected her cultivation, her realm had now solidly stabilized at the Tongxuan Fifth Layer. This rate of growth still astonished Su Chengyu.

Amid his shock, he couldn’t help but feel a headache brewing. Tongxuan was more than halfway conquered, and it seemed he had to start preparing for Yu Yanshu’s Golden Core Tribulation.

With the experience from last time, Su Chengyu definitely would not let Yu Yanshu repeat her previous mistakes.

Bai Huang’s realm had not greatly improved, but the progress in the two cultivation techniques that Su Chengyu taught him was fairly noteworthy. They weren’t outstanding, but he had managed to grasp the basics.

However, Su Chengyu noticed another problem with Bai Huang.

The demon qi within Bai Huang was vastly different from when Su Chengyu first met him. Back then, Bai Huang was silently enduring, and his demon qi was very restrained, like a calm lake.

But now, the demon qi inside Bai Huang was incredibly restless and excessively active.

"Bai Huang, have you encountered any troubles in your cultivation recently?"

Bai Huang suddenly looked up, then spoke somewhat flusteredly, "No, not at all! And I should be close to a breakthrough!"

Seeing Bai Huang’s reaction, Su Chengyu immediately understood.

"Yan’er, you go aside and consolidate the Dao techniques you learned from Mount Qingcheng."

"Yes, Master."

Only after Yu Yanshu had walked away did Su Chengyu turn his attention back to Bai Huang, "Bai Huang, are you in a hurry?"

"Ah?"

Bai Huang was stunned for a moment and then quickly shook his head, "No, not at all, I am not in a hurry. I just... just..."

"You just see Yan’er advancing by leaps and bounds and want to rapidly increase your own strength, right?"

Bai Huang, exposed by Su Chengyu’s accurate guess, lowered his head, unable to speak.

Su Chengyu nodded and said, "It’s not a bad thing to be unwilling to remain mediocre, but Bai Huang, you must remember, on the path of cultivation you can use others as your targets, but you must never compare yourself directly with them."

"But..."

"Every person is different, regardless of talent or the amount of cultivation. The path of cultivation for each individual cannot possibly be identical to another’s. You cannot become Yan’er, and the more you try to compare yourself to her, the more you will lose yourself. In the end, not only will it be counterproductive, slowing down your cultivation progress, but it will also lead to the creation of inner demons. Bai Huang, you are destroying yourself."

The words from Su Chengyu stunned Bai Huang into silence. He wanted to argue, but facing Su Chengyu, he found himself speechless.

Bai Huang understood Su Chengyu’s words, but understanding was one thing, and acting on it was another.

Watching Yu Yanshu’s cultivation progress leaps and bounds while his own realm remained stagnant, how could Bai Huang, carrying the mission to revitalize the Qingqiu Fox Clan, not feel anxious?

"Haste makes waste. If you cannot even comprehend this principle, I think your goal of revitalizing the Qiuqiu Fox Clan is merely an elusive dream."
